About Author:
Kelly Lorene is a California native who splits her time between Northern and Southern California. As the youngest of three girls, Kelly views family as her most valuable asset, and loves that her parents and sisters have always been a big part of her life.
Kelly attended design school in Long Beach, California before launching multiple careers as an interior designer, home renovator, artist, and aesthetician. She has been redesigning homes for as long as she can remember: to her, design is a way of life that allows her to see the possibilities around her, to seek the beauty and joy of life.
Through renovations, resales, and clever investing, Kelly retired before the age of fifty, and she is now living her best life with her lifelong love, husband of over thirty years, and business partner, Mike. Her other favorite people are her wonderful boys Chase and Chandler and her beautiful daughter-in-law Stepheni. There is no place she would rather be than with her friends and family.
